Austin is going to the opthamologist today. I am bringing all the papers from his other testing done during the school year last year. That was when he started all his eye troubles.

They said they will be doing a complete exam dialation etc. Is there anything I should definitelty be asking while there due to austin having lyme???

In my travels to eye ducks(even neuroopthamologist) It did me no good to mention I was a chronic lyme sufferer...they(the ducks) know nothing related to eye problems and lyme infection manifestations...

You could mention it but...I doubt all you would get is a HMMMM very interesting...

These folks never gave me reasons for black dot in right eye vision....or floaters...or any other of the three or four more eye problems I have....

They only know what to look for per symptom...but usually our symptoms don't match what would opthamalogically be wrong with our eyes....

It...is in my opinion just another of the interferance in our brain communications due to neuroborealis.....
In as much as we see more with our brain than we do with our eyes........the signals get a little ascued.......IMO......good luck.......zman

I have been to an opthalmologist and neuro-opthalmologist. The results from both was that my vision problems aare not in my eyes, but from my brain, probably due to Bb.

This may be what you will be told too abt you son, but it is always good to rule out other problems. I wish you well!

Well Austin exam went fine and his overall eye health is fine. The lyme hasn't caused any of the damges it can cause to the eyes.

He said that the lyme is probably affecting the brain in someway that is also causing problems with the eyes but austin has 20/20 vision??

But like I posted before about what the optometrist found when he gave him the developmental testing. So its gotta be the brain thats affecting him due to the lyme.

The thing is that Dr J wants him to see a neuropsychologist for testing and reffered us to one but in order for us to go we need 1750.00 bucs on the first visit. I can't come up with that kind of monet nor can i borrow it.

I really hate this!!! It sucks!!! I really wish that I could take this disease from him and it be me not him.
